Note 1 - The customer satisfaction survey is based on the Kiwis Count Survey. Satisfaction scores are calculated using a weighted mean. The survey is completed by members' support staff as a proxy for members, as well as providing insight into the overall satisfaction with the quality of service provided to members' offices. Members support staff are in a good position to judge the quality and timeliness of service provided to members and the response rate from members' support staff provides for statistically reliable results. A score of 80% and above indicates that service delivery is very good.
Note 2 - Members of Parliament customer satisfaction is based on the Net Promoter System (NPS). The NPS score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters of the Service. The NPS was introduced in Quarter Four 2016/17 to provide real-time feedback from members of Parliament on how well the Parliamentary Service has delivered services to them. Members of Parliament are asked to provide feedback on overall quality of services as well as specific service lines. A positive NPS score indicates that service delivery is very good.
